Rape is the unlawful sexual penetration of the body without the consent of the victim. Rape in colleges is common with male oppressors and female victims. The justice system is unruly in the sense that it doesn’t take the victims sides when there is a male sport player or is well known male who is being accused. Rape is a serious offense that needs to be taken seriously by everyone, especially law enforcement and the judicial system.
1.Every 1 in 5 women in college get raped within their first four years of college and tend to be victims repeatedly.
2.Because there is such a low number of cases that are reported, most of rapist are prosecuted.
3.After the prosecution only about 3% of rapist will spend a DAY in prison, and the other 97% walk FREE.

According to the United Nations, Deaths from small firearms exceed that of all other weapons combined, and more die each year from gun related violence than did in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. The global death toll from use of guns may number as high as 1,000 dead each day.Liberals believe in government action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all. It is the duty of the government to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need. Liberal policies generally emphasize the need for the government to solve problems.
Conservatives believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense.

Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems.About 20% of the USA is pro-gun and the rest are anti-gun.

Race relations are defined as the relations between to or more human races especially within a single community.
Crimes committed against or by one race may be scrutinized more harshly then if they were committed by another and are generally more harshly penalized by our courts and justice system while others may be wrongly accused and assaulted for a crime they did not commit.
1.6 out of 10 Americans think that race relations are bad, and according to the survey the majority of those were of black relations
2. In January of 2017 Officers in Bristol tased their own race relations adviser, mistaking him for a criminal
3. The majority of people in the United States are comfortable with talking about race relations with people of other colors.
